Tobias, I am working on a method that splits the input into "target, verb, quanta, modifier" by simply splitting the string at the spaces. Then, I can simply check the rationality and meaning of the verb, quanta and modifier and aim it at the target. It's not 'sophisticated' but it appears it will execute a lot more quickly. One of my main burdens is I'd like to keep the screen update "tick" at once per second. Worst case, once per two seconds. Therefore, it would be good if all screen redrawing and one parser run can occur within one second. Can it be done without compiling? I don't know. I'm sure going to try to make it happen though! I hope there aren't any parts of plain old QDOS that aren't supported by Turbo. One thing that simplifies the program a LOT is TURTLE GRAPHICS! I need to draw trails for each plane to show heading and speed. Turtle gfx seems to be the most concise way to do it at this point. I may need to write something faster but more verbose later, but for now, it very neatly and simply solves the problem ;) Dave _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
